We were married on a beautiful, sunny day; October 15, 2005 at Christ King Catholic church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The rehearsal dinner was held on Friday night at a park near my parents house in Waukesha county. We rented a pavilion on the lake, partially open on one side complete with a fireplace. We did it "southern style" and invited family and everyone in the wedding party plus all of our out-of-town guests and served catered hot dogs and burgers.The reception was held in Elkhart Lake, an hour and a half north of Milwaukee, at the wonderful Seibkens Resort. We had cocktails "in the courtyard" followed by dinner at the restaurant of the resort. Walter and I danced to "I'd have to be crazy" by Willie Nelson. It was so wonderful to look around and see the people we love getting to know one another.
The next morning we had brunch for our guests, most of whom had stayed the night. The entire wedding with wedding party was about 113 people, 85 of them stayed for the brunch! After saying goodbye to most of our guests, Walter and I and just a few others took a pontoon ride around the lake. On the way back to Milwaukee, we stopped at a farm and bought pumpkins.
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend.
Three days later, after much rest! ... we left for our honeymoon in St. Lucia. The island was beautiful and we had a fabulous time relaxing by the pool, playing in the ocean (while Walter kept one eye out for sharks), jet skiing, touring the island, and having breakfast overlooking the ocean every morning from the patio off our room.
